Courses offered by the Program in Feminist Studies are listed under the subject code FEMST on the Stanford Bulletin's ExploreCourses web site.
Each Feminist Studies student builds an individual program of study around a self-defined thematic focus, integrating courses from multiple departments. The Program offers an undergraduate major and minor, and an interdisciplinary honors program that is open to students in all majors. The program encourages work in the arts and supports creative honors theses.
Feminist Studies awards the annual Michelle Z. Rosaldo Prizes and Francisco Lopez Prizes for the best undergraduate scholarship on women, feminism, gender, or sexuality. The Rosaldo Prizes are awarded for the best essay and honors thesis or master's paper in the social sciences, and the Lopez Prizes for the best essay and honors thesis or master's paper in the humanities. See http://stanford.edu/dept/femstudies/opportunities for details.
Curriculum guidelines and forms for the major, minor, and honors are available at the Feminist Studies office or at http://feminist.stanford.edu. Students interested in Feminist Studies should consult the program mentor.
The interdepartmental Program in Feminist Studies provides students with the background and skills to investigate the significance of gender and sexuality in all arenas in human life. The program coordinates courses offered across the University into a curriculum in feminist and queer/LGBT studies, with an emphasis on diversity and transnationality. Feminist Studies majors examine how societies structure gender roles, relations, and identities, and how these intersect with other relations of power, such as class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and age. Students employ feminist theories and methodologies to expand and reevaluate the assumptions about gender and sexuality that inform the study of individuals, cultures, social institutions, policy, and other areas of scholarly inquiry. The program prepares majors for graduate study in humanities and social sciences, and for professional schools.
The program expects undergraduate majors in the program to be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes. These learning outcomes are used in evaluating students and the program's undergraduate program. Students are expected to demonstrate:
